I so agree with you and I share a similar message in my new book for mastering the art of selling. Basically I say that the best product you will ever have to offer is you. So "treat yourself like YOU matter." Do the personal work on yourself, so you can achieve the success you desire in your life. Each day I wake up very early. As I enjoy my coffee, I look out my windows at all my beautiful gardens (I am an avid gardener), I listen to the birds sing and chirp at my bird feeders, and I marvel at all of God's creation. I thank Him for my gifts and blessings. Then I start my day. And I am so amazed at the excitement and magic that comes my way. Oh, believe me, I have many setbacks and painful challenges, but I have learned that it is when I am down in the valley that I get my best awareness, awakenings, and messages for my personal growth. And the best lesson I have learned is, that every time their is a problem in my life, the first thing I need to do is go inside and see what I can fix in me! For, no matter what comes at me the only two things I have control of are my attitude and my behavior. So with a little quiet time and prayer, the growth and healing happens and the answers and solutions come. Looking at life in this spiritual manner has taught me to enjoy the process as much or more, than the outcome. And the sun shines that much brighter on me. Thank your for this opportunity to share.
